We are from the North East and was breakfasting with friends. If I lived in Helmshore as they do, we would eat there every day 😋 A wonderful transformation of an old factory. The whole experience was-a delight.

Just been for brunch.Looked like a nice oldy worldy place. I ordered Shakshuka.Which was two poached eggs on a tomato based sauce with spinach chickpeas and yogurt.Served with flatbread. Sounded nice. What i got was a bowl of warm chunky tomato soup,with floating chickpeas and spinach and a blob of yogurt.Floating in that were two very badly undercooked poached eggs. Two small pieces of flatbread on the side. And they expected me to eat it with a knife and fork.Should be on the soup menu.No sorry,should not be on any menu.I complained to the waiter.He said i will tell the manager. Quess what.Thats right,you've got it.Not a manager in sight.

Nice atmosphere, though the restuarant feels a bit lonely at times, waiting at the till to order could be improved - the staff receiving the orders also produce the drinks right after a order- which lengthens the time spent waiting by about 3x. Maybe it could be better if staff took all the orders first, then served the drinks in one go? The portion sizes are also a bit small for their price, which is relatively higher than the surrounding restuarants. The taste and aesthetics of the food was alright though. Overall, i think the place would benefit from a better ordering system at tills (no data in restuarant limits QR code scanning), and more generous portions. Thanks

I do love this chain of restaurants but I wish they would keep to the same rule you either stand and wait for a table or you find one yourself, I've not been to one were you have to wait for a long time so when we called in here I went to find a table,as I found one a man came over and told me off and said I had to wait at the door I was so embarrassed. Other than that the service from the other members of staff were fantastic especially the bar staff really nice to chat to,the food as always was gorgeous and the place itself was lovely,clean with a great atmosphere.

Very busy place even midday Sunday when we called. As we were having a drink outside in the sunshine we went to the bar ourselves so not sure about the quality of table service. We had beautifully chilled drinks. The inside is huge and suitable for large groups and families. It was a good place to sit and people watch so definitely worth calling in if only to check it out yourself and have a drink.

The food there was quite good, you get a fair bit for relatively cheap and the restaurant itself is quite clean and spacious. It is very cosy and we do enjoy the food there. I do believe that the service is what drags the review down. I do understand that lunchtimes are busy but waiting 10 + minute for a coke and 20+ for a panini and butter chicken meal is a bit too much. It was just really slow and the food arrived at different times so when I received my food, my friend was already halfway through the dish. Moreover, the waiters did not come by once to ask us the customary “is everything okay” question. Which in itself is not an issue but they seemed to have asked this to other tables near us.

Lovely savoury food! Highly recommend the burgers (they come with great fries, salad, slaw). The churros are quite awful though- they were basically stodgy chips (very little sugar, tasted like they'd used the wrong kind of batter) served with chocolate sauce that tasted like basic, bought choc sauce for ice creams. Apart from that, the atmosphere was great- super cool interior!

Fabulous aesthetic, great vibes, awesome food! Can order at table via a QR code or at the bar. Online option wasn't very responsive so had to go to the bar (always struggle to rate 'service' when you basically do it all yourself! That said, the staff were very attentive and polite). It was very busy so food took a while to arrive (we were warned when seated that it would), but it was worth the wait 😋

Love eating here, come regularly. Not table service unless you use your phone to order which a lot of the time doesn't work so you end up ordering at the bar. There's places in the area that are much better value for money but the food here is always really good and worth the extra small cost as you can guarantee a good meal and the order coming out correct. Staff are friendly and always show you to the seat, really good atmosphere and have never had any complaints out of the multiple times I've been here. Perfect for catching up with a friend or coming on a date.

As soon as we walked through the door we were greeted with a warm welcome and the staff were friendly, attentive and efficient throughout our visit. The restaurant is wonderfully airy and spacious and beautifully decorated. The food is fresh and impeccably presented. I had the Bang Bang Cauliflour and it was truly the best I have ever had.

Dines with family at the Gallico lounge yesterday (Monday) at 4pm. Open restaurant with a choice of seating and leather chesterfields. Good atmosphere and the staff are great. The food was delicious and served very quickly. I had the bang bang cauliflower (veggie) and it was amazing. The best I've had by far. Can also recommend the all day breakfasts, veggie and meatie both types are delicious. The sandwichws are great too. We paid £66 for 4 people for a meal and drinks. Would recommend. You order using a QR code at the table which is good, however it does ask whether you want to tip before you have any service at all. I 100% won't do this, especially where I've never eaten with family before. Then I felt bad for not tipping and had no cash to do so. That was a bit odd but it was a fantastic place to eat and drink. Will go again.

Also the female that served us was the most miserable I have come across ading to this experience. We spent £360 on these meals and was not wort it.

Everything would have been amazing, if it weren't for the fact that literally two minutes after I sat down, a family of four sat right next to me and proceeded to ruin the evening. Their two kids (looked like ages 5 and 7) proceeded to scream, cry, throw things and basically raise hell the entire rest of my visit. Not the restaurant's fault, but why did nobody (the parents included) do anything to control these kids? I go eat at pubs to get AWAY from children... it's after 6pm, what are you doing bringing your young kids to a pub in the first place? Completely ruined my visit there. I basically chugged back my drink and gad to leave to escape the ear-splitting screaming. Not cool.

I've been a fan of Gallico since it opened and the food is always good. Trouble is the standard of cleanliness is hit and miss. Wouldn't have left this review if the waitress had dealt with the issue. Our tea and coffee came in dirty mugs. The tea mug still had the stain line on the inside, various stains on the outside and the coffee mug was also dirty on the outside. Asked for a clean one which the waitress brought over but it was the same. Queried this and the waitress lazily responded "they're just like that, they stain over time". I would have accepted this if it hadn't been so easy for me to clean the cup with a bit of tissue and water. Not good. Will I go back? yes for the food but I might take my own cup.

Short Story: We went to Koko Bento in Lancaster for the first time today and had a really awful experience. Everything was normal, the service was nice and the restaurant was pretty quiet (went at 17.30pm ish). We were shown to our table by waitress no.2 and left to pick our food. When looking at the menu, we noticed that it specified if the chicken dishes had thigh meat. So my husband chose the "Mochiko Chicken Curry" because he really doesn't like thigh meat (makes him feel sick). When the mains arrived, he took a bite and said that it was definitely thigh meat and that he couldn't eat it. He flagged waitress no.1 and said to her that he was really sorry, but the main was chicken thigh meat and that he couldn't eat it, so please could he send it back and get another main. Waitress no.1 said that because he had ordered it and didn't ask about the meat, that it was his fault. My husband repeated again he was sorry, but he couldn't eat the food so could he change meal. Then waitress no.1 went and asked waitress no.2 (who was downstairs) who said it was our fault and that the ingredients were already used so he had to pay for the food he couldn't eat plus a new main. We said politely that this wasn't right and that we wouldn't pay for the main that my husband didn't eat. The other waiter then brang my main (which was good and I thanked him) and saw that it was getting a bit heated and he tried descalate the situation which we thanked him for. Waitress no.1 then rang the manager who wasn't in and tried to make us speak to this manager over the phone (while I was eating my main), which was pretty rude and inappropriate. After my husband said he didn't want to talk to a manager over the phone and that again he wouldn’t be paying for food he didn't eat - we were left alone by the waitresses. When I finished my main, we went downstairs to pay the bill.  Waitress no.2  was at the till and asked if we were going to pay for "everything" in an annoyed tone. And we calmly said we wanted to pay but wouldn't pay for the mochiko chicken curry that wasn't eaten. She then began to argue at us that it was our fault, didn't we know this was a business, we should pay because they had wasted ingredients, etc, in a raised voice, which was very unprofessional. We again said that yes, we could have double-checked about the chicken in the dish, but as it wasn't eaten that we categorically weren't paying for it but were happy to pay for everything else. She then told us to take a seat because she was ringing the police. We said that was fine and sat down at the counter and waited. The call went on for a few minutes before she ended it and walked back to the till and said we could pay now. The till has a screen where you can see the order items and the total bill. We could see she had taken off the mochiko chicken curry, and we paid the bill. My husband asked. "So the police said that you couldn't force us to pay then?". Waitress no. 2 then began to raise her voice at us, saying the same spiel that she had said before she rang the police. My husband said let's just leave it and go and told her she was being really unprofessional and that it was wild that she had tried to get us arrested over a dish we didn't eat. As we left the restaurant, she shouted that we were pathetic and told us don't come back. I said, "Don't worry, we won't ever come back" (sort of laughing because I was so taken aback and shocked by her behaviour to customers). She then tried to mock me as we walked out of the restaurant. I'm posting this to let other people know that this could happen to them if they don't like a dish they've ordered at Koko. We obviously won't be coming back, and it's a real shame that this was how the restaurant handled this as it was our first time eating there. It could have been sorted really easily, but that's not how it played out, unfortunately, and we ended up having a horrible time when we wanted to go for a nice meal together. I've attached a picture of the end of our meal, showing that my husband didn't touch his food. Thanks
